About ""TOMATO"" PORK BANGERS, TOMATO
Harold Wood's Tomato Pork Bangers are a British-style pork sausage made by Del Vecchio Foods, bringing a traditional UK sausage format to the North American market. The term banger is a colloquial British name for pork sausages, reportedly dating from World War II when sausages with high water content would sometimes burst or bang during frying due to steam pressure. British bangers characteristically use a portion of rusk or cracker meal as a cereal binder and filler, producing a softer, moister texture compared to American-style pork sausages that rely more purely on ground meat.
This product uses pork as the primary protein, water, and crackermeal made from bleached wheat flour as the cereal binder. Tomato paste is incorporated as a flavor component, which is a traditional variation within British banger recipes. The seasoning includes salt, sodium phosphate for moisture retention, dextrose, spices, natural flavoring, and mace, a spice derived from the outer lacy covering of nutmeg that provides a warm, subtly aromatic note long associated with British and European sausage-making traditions.
At 161 calories per 76-gram serving with 6.6 grams of fat, 13.2 grams of protein, and 9.2 grams of carbohydrates, these bangers have a lower fat content and higher carbohydrate content than typical pure-meat American breakfast sausages, reflecting the inclusion of cereal binder.
Harold Wood's bangers are suited to traditional British preparations including the full English breakfast alongside eggs, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, and toast. They can also be served as bangers and mash with mashed potatoes and onion gravy, one of the most classic comfort food presentations in British pub cooking.
